State test results for the Garden Grove Unified School District showed an overall drop in the Academic Performance Index score.

In elementary, intermediate and high campuses, 21 schools increased their API scores, while 38 schools reported drops. Scores for four schools stayed the same.

The scores for individual schools from districts in Garden Grove and Westminster, released last week, are on Page 4 of this Friday’s edition of The Garden Grove Journal.

API scores show how students fare on a scale of 200 to 1,000 and are taken from state test scores and, for high schools, graduation rates. The state’s API accountability system measures improvement in student achievement each year. All schools are expected to boost scores by 2 to 5 points annually until they reach 800.

California also released scores showing how many students are proficient in English and math at each school; these numbers can also be found inside The Journal this Friday on Page 4.
